Taxis and Dolmus: Taxis are numerous in all Turkish cities and are recognizable by their yellow colour. The fare shown on the meter reads according to the distance traveled . the "Dolmus". A special service found only in Turkey, is a collective taxi which follows specific routes and is recognizable by itsyellow band. Each passanger pays according to the distance traveled and can get off at specific stops. The relatively cheap fares are fixed by the municipality. The "Dolmus" provides a service within large cities, to supurbs, airports, and often the neighboring towns. This is a very practical means of transportation and much cheaper than the taxi.

Meet at airports, Cruise dock or at your hotel. We have tours to the city's imperial history by driving around the Golden Horn and the great city walls of Constantinople.

Toroshan,
The Gulet that you arranged us, sailing was wonderful. Yacht was A+ in every way. Captain and staff were great. "Cookies" was very good and even responded to menu requests. The deck hands went out of their way to be helpful.
Thank you very much.
Cheers, Ralph
